Brain

The brain is the control center of a lifeform's central nervous system.

History and specifics

The brain is typically housed in the head of most animals. (TOS episode & Star Trek 8 novelization: Spock's Brain)

The brains of Humans, Andorians, Bolians and Bajorans are susceptible to the low-level energy waves generated by Harmonic diamonds. These waves stimulate areas of the brain associated with primitive emotions, including anger, envy, and greed. (TNG comic: "Captain's Pleasure")

Distotian brains were located within in their chest cavity. (TOS comic: "Husian Gambit")
